Sometimes hostname gives it away, but not always. Sometimes location as well. Some times easier to ask one of us to check. I don't mind doing it if you are suspicious of someone. Better safe then sorry.

Anything that comes up when you search host name either in yahoo or google is bad. and there is hostname information tools if you search too

The Location Info gives you the network the person is using. The domain name is the important part. Copy/paste the URL to your address bar and go to that website.
If you see a web hosting website that means it's a proxy/VPN. If it's a domain that does not exist, there's also a 99.9% chance it's a proxy/VPN. In very rare cases it's a small ISP that uses an alternate domain that isn't used as a website. I normally check the domain by doing a whois lookup and you can tell then who owns the domain. If the whois is private it's a proxy.
Normal ISPs like Comcast, Verizon, TimeWarner all have internet plans posted on their sites, even the smaller lesser known ISPs so you can easily see they are an internet provider.
